This week marks my year mark since I was evacuated from the "Desert"....survived a Revolution and TURN of History. Now I am writing to you from DALLAS
As many of you know, leaving Egypt was very difficult for me. I was stripped away from my "home", "family", and "friends" in a matter of..... 1 DAY! Jaz packed 1 bag; left everything behind and got on the last plane out of Egypt to the states. Yes, I waited till they made it mandatory. Bless my parent's hearts. Thank you for your support and prayers!!!
It happened all too fast. Recovering from such a loss has definitely been a process! Although I have kept in touch with most of you through personal emails, fbook, visits, my last formal update was sent probably right before the Egyptian Government cut our communication with the world. So in honor of my year mark I am starting my newsletter once again!!

JAZZY is BACK- Dreaming WITH God, being Obedient, and walking by Faith like never before. I hope you forgive me for this break in our communication. I equate my 2011 with Esther's year of beauty treatments. Before a girl's turn came to go in with the King, she had to complete twelve months of beauty treatments prescribed for the women, 6 months with oil of myrrh and 6 with perfumes and cosmetics. (Esther 2:12) Before her "such a time as this" moment she needed preparation!! I could relate to her in many ways and the Lord specifically highlighted to me this year process and the necessity I had to go through it....I'll share more about this process as we move along....
Whew 2011 was an eventful year and the vision the Lord gave me and my calling were put to the test! However, we ARE moving forward with full confidence that if God is for us, then who can be against us! I'd like to extend an invitation to you to join me as I continue on this journey. I hope your still with me and I didn't lose you along the way. Also, i'd like to welcome those newbies with me as well! Expecting great things along the way! Thank you for coming alongside me. I have so much to share! GO TO THE LINK, and subscribe to my newsletter. For now I just want to make sure your on board. I'll send another letter with what's next soon. I'd like to encourage you, 2012 is a year to THRIVE and to do so alongside people who are focused on loving in WORD and DEED!
Let me know how I can be praying for/with you. Jaz
